Ibrahimovic: I don’t wish to return to Juventus

Stefan Hansson claimed that the striker told him that he was keen on rejoining the Bianconeri before he retires – but the 32-year-old says that the pair have never even met.

Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dismissed the suggestion that he wants to return to Juventus.

Italian publication Tuttosport recently published an interview with Swedish coach Stefan Hansson, who claimed to have befriended the striker at Malmo and suggested that the 32-year-old wants to rejoin the Serie A champions, whom he played for between 2004 and 2006.

However, Ibrahimovic has now claimed that not only is he uninterested in going back to Juve, he does not even know Hansson.

“A person named Stefan Hansson has been making comments about me,” the Sweden international said via his personal app Zlatan Unplugged.

“I would like to clarify that I do not know this person. I have never met him, he has never been my coach and we have never talked on Skype.

“Normally, I would not even comment on matter like this, but his comments have reached unreasonable proportions, so I felt compelled to react.”

Ibrahimovic, who netted twice in PSG’s 2-2 Ligue 1 draw against Reims at the weekend, has a contract with the Ligue 1 champions until June 2016.
